| Playing music has always been one of my favorite things. I started on coronet, then to saxophone and when I was a freshman in high school I got my 1st bass guitar, a green beatle bass with a distorted amp. My parents have always supported me with music and I really appreciate them for it. I’ve played with a lot of different people in my life and they have all had an influence on me. Most of my life, I’ve played FUNK, Jazz, Blues and R&B. I had the great experience of opening for a very famous band a while back. The feeling playing in front of all those people was incredible(my 15 mins. of fame). When I was in the Navy, we started a ships band, and we played in Australia, Sri Lanka, Mauritius, and a USO show with Miss America and the 4 runner ups! (Woo- Hoo!). I was living in San Diego when I got out of the Navy, and I played a lot of jam sessions, did some studio work for a few Rappers and Singers. I just wanted to stay connected to music any way I could. I moved to Houston and my Mom came down to visit. She ask me if I had ever heard from a friend of mine from high school who use to play in a band with my brother. I told her no, not since high school, but with help from Google I located him… he was living 15 min from me in Houston! We got together and he told me that the drummer from the old band lived in Houston too. So we started playing together again, and that’s when I met the guys from SiennaBlu. They were a rock band but they liked the flavor I added. So I joined them and the rest is history. It’s nice to create music from scratch and play it the way I feel it. The freedom to create our own parts really is the spice that make us so different and fresh. SIENNABLU ROCKS and always will! |
